      What a handsome character

      Neither the plausibility of the plot (I see a lot of people discussing this) nor the cast (the few seconds of the governor's presence really creeped me out) are not why I appreciate this film; what I love is Motor Terminator The moment it suddenly descended from the large robot, that feeling was handsome, right?

      The sound effects of the theater are still far better than those of the home, especially when sitting in the middle of the second row, I was shocked by the brutal sound...

      Futuristic Panic

      I'm not a fan of Terminator, I just watched it because the movie card was too abundant (holding my head~Mo Da~), I hardly ever took the initiative to end it for so many years, I suddenly remembered that the first time I watched Terminator was in elementary school, at that time I felt that foreign countries Guizi's movies are not good, I only like to watch Chinese movies, and most of them are movies made by very orthodox Chinese third and fourth generation directors. This is what my dad said)....

      The only thing that impressed me was the little SAM.

      The editing is full of loopholes and the director is messy. Against this background, the appearance of Xiao SAM decisively saved this bad film. . .
      Very handsome, very handsome. Handsome than the first male lead.
      The ending is very thunderous, it is said that the Skynet Global Headquarters is still very powerful. .
      So, did you save one of your dads at the cost of killing so many people for a long time?
      Is there no one else who can take his place other than that bunch of...

      Success comes by chance

      In front of Skynet, it turned out that the rebels were not only backward in weapons, but also naive as children.

      Using only one shortwave frequency, it simply destroyed the resistance headquarters.

      Command was never on that submarine because the commander was so incompetent.

      Would Connor's success have been possible without Marcus' "Humanity"?

      Skynet is also poor, and he didn't completely wipe out Marcus' humanity. In this way,

      Skynet also...

    New story in the new world

    In the first three episodes of "Terminator", the main storytelling is that humans are constantly fighting against the mechanical killer from the future. In "Terminator 2018", it finally begins to describe the confrontation between humans and robots in the apocalyptic world. In the film, the classic robot T-800 that appeared in the past three episodes has become a thing of the past. Instead, it is replaced by more new robots of...

    Negative reviews

    The film was released in North America at a poor box office, and the most criticized part of it was the characterization. The screenwriters set a pitiful little dialogue for the characters, and most of them are dispensable slogan languages. The lack of dialogue, in other words, means the lack of necessary emotional communication between the characters, which makes both the robot Marcus and the Resistance under the leadership of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Kyle Reese: [to Marcus] You want to know the difference between us and machines? We bury our dead. But no one is coming to bury you.

    • [after Marcus helps John defeat the Hydrobots, John Connor turns and points his gun at him]

      John Connor: They know what you are, even if you don't.

      Marcus Wright: Enough! That gun ain't gonna stop shit!

      John Connor: Nobody's shot you in the heart, and I see that thing beating a mile a minute!

      Marcus Wright: [Suddenly cautious] Kyle Reese. He's in Skynet. You do that, he's dead. I can get you in.

      John Connor: [pauses] How?

      [Marcus steps forward into the light. His face is half-mangled, revealing a metal skull underneath]

      Marcus Wright: Look at me.

      John Connor: That's why I don't trust you.

      Marcus Wright: I'm the only hope you have.

      [pauses]

      Marcus Wright: I need to find who did this to me. So do you.

    • [last lines]

      Marcus Wright: [thinking] What is it that makes us human? It's not something you can program. You can't put it into a chip. It's the strength of the human heart. The difference between us and machines.

      John Connor: [pause]

      [continues thinking]

      John Connor: There is a storm on the horizon. A time of hardship and pain. This battle has been won, but the war against the machines races on. Skynet's global network remains strong, but we will not quit, until all of it is destroyed. This is John Connor. There is no fate, but what we make.
